Jack’s stunned to find out Martha tore up the divorce papers. Sally’s still harbouring doubts about her decision to marry Brad. Henk and Cassie find the missing students, but Rachel’s worst fear is realised when she springs the pair together.

Extended Summary

Jack has picked up on the fact that Martha seems uneasy about his engagement to Sam. He calls her on it, and she’s forced to admit that she’s been keeping a secret: when she thought that he was on the boat and lost at sea in the storm, she tore up the divorce papers. Jack’s not sure he’s hearing right: “You mean we’re not divorced…?” Martha nods, and his heart sinks. How is he going to explain this to Sam?

Martha’s not the only one who’s been harbouring a secret.

Rachel’s got no choice but to hide her agitation at being this close to Henk – and it’s clear that she’s struggling to maintain her composure. She also can’t help noticing what looks like a moment of intimacy between Henk and Cassie. She manages to convince herself that she’s imagining it – but when she walks Martha home, they make a shocking discovery: Cassie and Henk are in his bedroom in a state of undress. Rachel stares at Henk, horrified…
